The Ninth Annual Kyffin Williams Lecture
Vincent Van Gogh and Anthony Green
Martin Bailey
The art historian Martin Bailey has published two books in the past few weeks – one on Van Gogh (Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence) and the other on the former Highgate student Anthony Green RA (Painting Life), who was taught by Kyffin Williams in the 1950s. In his lecture, Bailey will explore the links, since Green has always been strongly influenced by Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
